Yesterday evening we walked around the block (around the village)  in late evening sun. A few photos taken of beautiful farms, the church and that’s about it in Ostrum Logum.
This morning, I asked my very friendly landlady, if I could get breakfast. Oh yes, of course. A little wiser by now, I asked her upstairs or downstairs? So upstairs. The son brought it to me But I must admit, breakfast was very much. See picture. This does not mean that I ate almost everything. AMe still being a little bit typical Dutchman, I take with me, cheap, like Dutch are known for, a couple of sandwiches for the afternoon; my empty Coke bottle I filled with the orange juice,  and thus the little piggy got ready for the new day.
It is a great walking day: wonderful weather, beautiful route through hollow roads, with beautiful vegetation, like the in the Netherlands rare  “holkruid”. Hilly, old bridge, More than 1000 y. old burial mounds, a boulder with runic characters from the Viking period (about 800 after Christ). See pictures. So it was pleasant. Again very quiet, but that I often enjoy most.
I had a short break in the village Mastrup. At a bus stop were three chairs along the way. One for my backpack, one for me and one for a possible visitor, who of course was not there. In the local supermarket I bought three kilograms of food for Tosca. Smaller portions were not there. Of course I’ll have to drag that extra weight along again. Gei groeëter lead es me what is zelf adeit (the greatest sorrow one inflicts on himself).
I think Denmark is very clean : little litter, no smog, the busy shopping streets are quiet, the people make a controlled impression. But yeah, I’m here only the 2nd day. But my beer on the terrace, now at 5.30 pm is very expensive. About 7 E.

Afin, before 3 pm I already was at my destination. Putting my tent , inspecting the surroundings. Not even a chicken in the road. Tosca, as usually, urged to rest a few hours, fixed to a tree next to my tent. That is eay and quiet for me too for a while. Sorry for Tosca? Come on! She must have learned to be alone for a moment for a while. I am so often. In fact, I think by now she is used to waiting all alone a couple hours. But hey, I never know whether she is turning things upside down when I am away. So even without Tosca I am a bit worried about her behaviour. And then I walked to the town. Nice place. I thought I’m going to swim, my students sport. No, no free swimming today. And that way I arrived at this terrace in central Haderslev. At 4 pm the center was full packed. Now, at half past five, there is no f … to do. Probably they all  have to go to mother mamma for yammie yammie (what an old-fashioned idea, huh).
Back at the campsite, I made a movie before my tent. Unique, because this is only the 3rd time I am camping, if you don’t count my adventures in the open sky of Andalusia in Oct.
According to the waitress  the town is busier in the evening, so I decide to return slowly heivesch (home) to the campsite, where the action is, wild life. It sure will be. Probably silence like everything is sealed mit Tute (with bags). On verra.
So I added an additional few km from the campsite on the edge of town to the city center and, of course, also back.
Tomorrow to Kolding, at least 26 km. I do not use tape on my feet anymore. The blisters are healed and if I touch you with my foot, you back (or whatever) will be scratched open, so rough is my foot skin. But don’t worry, my fingertips suffer less, ha, ha !!!
Because I got a voucher at my camp site for an Italian, that’s the place where I am now. Tosca is fixed outside, to a tree. Eating outside on the terrace near Tosca,  is not allowed. Fie, why so strict? but o.k. Now is time to fill my belly.
